then what rims on car picture ? I see many people worried (hks being too restrictive) but my evo puts out 350hp blowing through the stock exhaust 60mm in the choke points. If it does become an issue I won’t mind changing it whatsoever. evo exhaust designed for a turbo car. Big difference. One builde...

at the peak of the turbo craze, countless turbos added to much younger stock 4AGs Dunno anybody that sets up a turbo car for 200,000 miles.... especially in todays changing world. That's overbuilding right there I suppose :) managing heat is vital for longevity on a boosted car. To push 300hp worth ...

u r off to a good start. Will that HKS exhaust not strangle a 4agte.... looks kinda small I'd rethink forced induction. If you want a power car this is the wrong chassis. BEAMS swap can be drop in and A LOT less headache than trying to go turbo. Nothing transform a street corolla like boost. Proven ...

so this is a 10.7:1 TVIS bigport .....with TVIS working ?Torque looks beefy(for a na 1.6) from down low. Would be interesting to see a stock torque curve overlay/comparisonI'd imagine the FX drove strong?

u still have to fab manifolds? if unwilling to restore injection, u probably better off selling the 4AGE & carbs and picking up a cheap 4AC (or 3) they seem to like drawthru turbos, and will kill any run of the mill non boosted 4AGE u can still find info on a few builds online 1st build I saw ye...

You got pics of the CA18? I love that motor. Never posted pix of any project. Will soon tho. CA18 stuff going to a coupe. Didn't intend to, but daily drove my CA S13 for 14 straight trouble-free years! Most reliable car I've ever owned. That dirty nissan made a believer out of me. 4AGE. And it real...

3SGTE is your only option, and it is arguably the fussiest and most costly vs nissan, mitsu, mazda, 4s Turbocharging the 4AGE would be the "best fit" imo. Set any 'reasonable' goal, and the runt has delivered, without much fuss Eventually I plan on turbochraging my last GTS.... keeping it ...

maybe on paper the roots is "bad", but i for one can't c it Several full street 1.6 SC12 AE86s go 13.9-13.7s with only bolt ons. No porting, oe cams Incredible from a 'torquey' puny 1.6 imo. Excellent platform to build on I'd think Add a 7A bottom end, head work, aftermarket cams diaed in,...

unless I'm reading it wrong? ....that thing looks like it's making an unusal amount of tq thats what accompany's an unusal amount of effort/detail @6500rpm torque is still ~155 ft-lbs. It does appear that the SC12 makes the best out of the improved midrange VE, than falls behind a bit in the hi rpms...

NPR made the pistons and rings in the DSM mentioned above. They also made the oem GZE rings from what I've read NPR make pistons for a bunch of imports and toyotas, but I couldn't find any 4AG or GZE pistons/rimg set That's too nad, as they've really proven rugged under boost, with unmatched value H...

not just any "cheap pistons".... but a proven "cheap" piston, is the message. Huge difference if a 3000 pound 2.0L street car runs 10.1sec 1/4s! with those $90 pos pistons for years... good enough for me No gze piston will c that sorta abuse A bad tune can & will melt a forge...

after seeing what DSM, buick GNs, ford 2.3s, etc put their cheap stock cast pistons thru... I'm sold Can't bring myself to plunk down $5-600 for a 'noisy' set of forged pistons More bad news ? Some DSMs run 30-35+psi on $90 ebay pistons. Finding that "GZE equivalent", would b my top priori...

if u askin the question, then it's probably way over your head. Lotta work http://www.hachiroku.net/forums/forum/main-category/tech-and-performance/reviews-guides-worklogs/36753-another-ae86-coupe-build-but-this-one-s-rhd use the 'hack' to see photos, I guess https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detai...

stroke for displacement = more and broader torque curve. 7AG will cover 99% of us. 9AG is an option for the hardcore $$$$$ 1.6 has no prob hiitng 500 atw. See 410kw(~550hp) @26psi on a stock ZE block, 1st post in the thread http://www.toymods.org.au/forums/threads/61936-4AGE-20-Valve-Silver-top-V-Bl...

But they are OEM stock, so they can and will brag about that fact. Only, they reground them. IF they actually did that. port the head/add big valves, call it untouched.... bore/forge pistons, call the block virgin regrind oe cams, call em stock. To go thru all that is plain foolish. What is there t...

what would be the reasoning behind claiming 'stock cams', when they're not ? I can't c n e All these random examples above would never collude and conspire to decieve Their mods definitely show a clear pattern...... outside the box back in the day, u had to go thru several regrinds, experimenting wi...

didn't remember reading of that carina waaaay back poor little 4AG.... the mean things people have done to it. - lol :lol: so bluetop cams don't 'choke a 4agte'.... at least not when a big turbo is shoving big boost down it's throat thankfully, a "fast" street car is as far as my interest ...
